The Ilex Trust is a registered charity founded by Tring people in 2000, that focusses on helping young people in Tring and surrounding area.

What we do
Ilex is a catalyst. We raise money to pay for professional coaches and teachers to visit local schools to introduce and help young people to enjoy activities that are not generally available either due to cost or time restrictions. This draws young people into activities they perhaps wouldn’t otherwise try, and local clubs and societies have noticed significant increases in their numbers of young members, and much more parent involvement.

Please Contact Us if you have ideas for other projects, or you’d like to get involved: 20 people are now with Ilex, you probably already know some of us (Who’s who).

Why do we do it ?
Ilex helps to enhance the sense of belonging and community spirit in this area by encouraging young people to take up healthy and sociable activities that develop personal responsibility and respect for other people: our projects to date include cricket, rugby, and music.

It is our dream to see local youngsters fulfilling their dreams: developing careers from activities to which they were introduced by Ilex:

In the film Chariots of Fire, the character played by John Gielgud said: “...games are indispensable in helping to complete an education. They create character, they foster courage, honesty and leadership. But most of all an assailable sense of loyalty, comradeship, and mutual responsibility.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
